Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The appellant placed himself in the inconsistent position of, on one hand, denying that he resisted a lawful arrest, and on the other [sic] that the court should have instructed the jury that because the officer used an unreasonable amount of force, he had a right to resist the arrest. There was no duty of the trial judge to instruct the jury as requested by the appellant because such charge was not applicable to any issue in the case. No instruction should be given by the trial judge, at the request of the appellant, which tenders an issue which is not presented or supported by the evidence.”
